Shelter Dogs (2003)
A fascinating look at the chaos and drama of life in an animal shelter.

Fascinating and haunting. What happens when the family dog turns out to be a ticking time-bomb? This is an intimate look at the world of cast-off pets, and the people who shelter them, and make the hard decisions about whether and when to euthanize the hopeless cases. Although it might sound depressing and morbid, it isn't, mainly because the film focuses on Sue Sternberg, who runs the shelter, and brings lots of insight, humor and hope to a job that must rank high on the burn-out scale. Lots of credit also to the filmmakers, for capturing the chaos and drama of daily life in an animal shelter, and the special breed of people who live and work with dogs.
